Single Malt Scotch Whisky43%

A beautifully packaged and now rather collectable 25-year-old from Glenmorangie. Quarter Century offers thick, dark fruits, with those tropical, malty tones. Superb.

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Customer Rating

“Several cases were brought to the estate and we like to hand them round to the help as we gaze through the lead lights as the snow drifts beautifying the landscape.”

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Berry compote, crumble, hint of potpourri, almost floral, stewed plums. A mere hint of rancio? Perhaps.

Palate

Initially soft. Creamy, fruitcake, tropical fruit.

Finish

Long, very slight astringency. Oak, some fruit.

One of the best

Creamy, soft fruits with vanilla, slight oak, with a long smooth finish and a peach hit at the very end. I had the last of one bottle and the first of another. I got distinct peach at the end of both. So good I bought a bottle. I feel the price ~$300 USD I paid was right in line with the quality.

Excellent, but (maybe) overworked

Nose: Sweet violets, vanilla, cherry, pink peppercorn Palate: Glycerin, butter, grape, peach, with good alcohol mouth-feel. Rock sugar in the middle and a stewed plum and prune ending. Green pine, cinnamon, and vanilla undertones. Finish: Lingering finish that oscillates between sweet and bitter. Red fruits, satisfying. Overall: This is a difficult dram to characterize. I think it is excellent and everyone that I have served it to has raved about it. However, I normally give a little taste of Redbrest 21 or Balvenie 21 PortWood after this, and that is when the fun begins. There is a lot less depth and malt and depth in this Glenmorangie than seems to present on first taste. This is one of the smoothest drams I have tasted, but the sherry wood feels very heavy as well as the overall oak. It masks what is probably excellent aged scotch with lots of nuance and character. I would not disagree with a higher rating, but 7 out of 10 feels more representative to me.

A real beauty

Outstanding, one of my favourites (maybe slightly behind the 18yo Aberlour) A bit pricey but something you got to try at least once.

It's ok but not sublime

Smooth, well rounded and even, with no off aromas and no flaws in the mouthfeel, but neither is there anything that would distinguish it as a dram worth the price it retails for. In the same premium category you can find for example the cheaper Highland Park 25 which absolutely wipes the floor with this one. I notice the short tasting notes above are mostly "fruit, fruits, fruitiness" which is a very accurate description and also a good example of the lack of complexity that stops this from being a five star dram.
